Him: 'Where did you fly in from?'

Moi: 'London'

Him: 'Ah. Do you work in the fashion... realm?'

Moi: 'Yes.' (God, yes!)

Is it really that obvious? Is the blue beanie on my head a marker of some sort? Or are all femmes coming in from London somehow connected to the fashion industry? Whatever the reason, it felt strangely affirming and left me grinning for ages. Like those macaroons in Paris, only better :)

I am sooooo excited for you! You should visit the Anglomania exhibit at the Met if you get the chance this week... one of those 'everyone in fashion has seen this' type deal. Have a fantastic week and please write all about it. Your readers eagerly wait with baited breath!

happend to me once as well, from NYC to London.the flight attendant came up to me with a magazine, flicked open a page with a dior homme ad, and asked "excuse me, is this you"? nevermind, stupid comment.

victimedelamode: Merci- how was your trip to Paris? No, I didn't end up going to the Balenciaga exhibit- I started walking a few times in the direction of the museum and got completely sidetracked by other things I came across! Very bad. I'm a hopeless francophile :)

liza: Yes! I wouldn't miss McQueen ballgowns and Westwood sperm filled necklaces for anything! Have you seen it? I can't wait.

la femme, are you actually working in fashion? modeling? interning? i thought you were studying at univ in toronto. sorry, i guess i'm just slow to catch on. do you plan to be a designer? or perhaps work at a magazine? please satisfy my curiosity. :)

I will be refreshing your blog constantly for the slightest update. I have had the biggest NY cravings this week and now I know why - you're there and will be satisfying them for me. Gros biz in the meantime!
